I think the problem is due to this line in _combination:

compadd "$@" -a tmp || { (( $+functions[_$key] )) && "_$key" "$@" }

The line gets run for each of host hosts, domains and IP addresses.
Only one needs to fail for "_$key" (_hosts in effect) to go on to run.
This is quite possible as "$@" expands to, amoung other things, `-F
_comp_ignore'. I think the patch below is the right fix - provided tmp
can't be different with each of the tags.

We do compadd <something> || compadd <something else> in other parts of
the completion system so they may also be afflicted. As I think I've
mentioned previously, a way of specifying a default tag-order would be
better.
